Irrational Nature
August 11, 2014
The elder oaks
Shed their hairs
As frost arrives,
Leaving them bare.
The boy watches
From his bedroom window,
With a sweater on,
Wondering how is it so
That he is warm
But the trees are not,
When the snow and trees
Are from the same lot.
Once, grandma told
That Death is normal;
He asked her gravestone
What’s so normal
About the stone in his heart.
He thought this must be how
The trees feel in wintertime,
But they won’t tell
About their pain and cold
Because it’s only natural.
